ManpowerGroup Reports 3rd Quarter 2023 Results

  • Revenues of $4.7 billion (-3% as reported, -5% constant currency)
  • Challenging operating environment in North America and Europe primary cause for revenue decline
  • Gross profit margin of 17.6%. Staffing margins remained resilient; permanent recruitment demand weakened
  • Cost reductions and restructuring actions align operations to weaker market demand
  • $50 million of common stock repurchased during the quarter
  • Strong Free Cash Flow during the quarter of $245 million

 MILWAUKEE, Oct. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- ManpowerGroup (NYSE: MAN) today reported net earnings of $0.60 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $2.13 per diluted share in the prior year period. Net earnings in the quarter were $30.3 million compared to $111.3 million a year earlier. Revenues for the third quarter were $4.7 billion, a 3% decrease from the prior year period.

The current year quarter included restructuring costs, a small loss from the sale of our Philippines business and Argentina related non-cash currency translation losses which reduced earnings per share by $0.78 in the current quarter. Excluding these costs, earnings per share was $1.38 per diluted share in the quarter representing a decrease of 39% in constant currency.1Argentina is required to be treated as a hyperinflationary economy and the currency translation losses reflect the devaluation of the Argentine peso during the quarter.

Financial results in the quarter were also impacted by the weaker U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies compared to the prior year period, resulting in a 4 cent positive impact to earnings per share in the quarter compared to the prior year. The foreign currency positive impact to earnings per share was 4 cents lower than the impact anticipated in our third quarter guidance. On a constant currency basis, revenues decreased 5% compared to the prior year period.

Jonas Prising, ManpowerGroup Chairman & CEO, said, "Our third quarter results reflect the challenging operating environment for recruitment and resourcing in North America and Europe. We continued to see solid demand across Latin America and Asia Pacific Middle East. While the current operating environment is difficult for our industry, we are confident in our ability to adjust to the existing reality while being ready to pivot quickly when the situation improves. We executed various additional cost actions during the third quarter and our experienced management team continues to drive our key Diversification, Digitization andInnovation initiatives which are strengthening ManpowerGroup for the future. 

We anticipate diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter will be between $1.17 and $1.27, which includes an estimated unfavorable currency impact of 1 cent. Our guidance excludes expected restructuring costs and any Argentina related impact of non-cash currency translation losses."

Net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $173.3 million, or net earnings of $3.42 per diluted share compared to net earnings of $325.1 million, or net earnings of $6.10 per diluted share in the prior year, respectively. The current year to date period included restructuring costs, a small loss from the sale of our Philippines business and an Argentina related non-cash currency translation losses which reduced earnings per share by $1.16. Excluding the net impact of these charges, earnings per share for the nine-month period was $4.58 per diluted share representing a decrease of 27% in constant currency.2 Revenues for the nine-month period were $14.3 billion, representing a decrease of 5% compared to the prior year or a decrease of 4% in constant currency. Earnings per share for the nine-month period were negatively impacted by 14 cents due to changes in foreign currencies compared to the prior year.

In conjunction with its third quarter earnings release, ManpowerGroup will broadcast its conference call live over the Internet on October 19, 2023 at 7:30 a.m. central time (8:30 a.m. eastern time). Prepared remarks for the conference call, webcast details, presentation and recordings are included within the Investor Relations section of manpowergroup.com.
